People respond fairly well to ways that they can decrease their high insurance premiums. An example was when I was able to answer the question, "Do you smoke tobacco?" or something similar to that. It made me feel like it would help my premiums be lower. If there were a similar question, though scales should be present for this one, to ask about one's weight/height ratio, I think it would cause people to watch their weight more. And we should have it checked each year or half year, along with maybe some other tests to see if we've been smoking, drinking too much, doing drugs, and what else they could come up with to lower premiums and make those who don't take care of themselves bear the burden more equally. And that is being personally responsible, and not leaving it to others to solve our problems. I know this wasn't a health insurance question, but I couldn't help it since I did at least start off in the right direction. lol. Connect obesity to health insurance premiums.
